Self-aligning, maintenance-free spherical bearings equal longer life at lower cost

igubal® spherical bearings are self-aligning components made entirely of high-performance plastics. They are self-lubricating, maintenance-free and available in various designs and configurations: rod ends, clevis joints, flange bearings, pivot bearings and pillow blocks. The self-aligning bearings are easy to install, adapt to all angular deviations and replace special housings in many cases.

With igubal, you can take advantage of all the benefits of high-performance plastics: vibration dampening, ability to operate in liquids or chemicals, and resistance to dirt and dust, which can impede the performance of greased metal components. igubal® is 80% lighter than conventional steel spherical bearings.

Advantages of igubal:

  • cost-effective;
  • maintenance-free;
  • lubrication-free;
  • resistant to dirt and dust;
  • corrosion-resistant;
  • can be used in liquid media;
  • vibration dampening;
  • inner race set in housings with very low clearance.

Bearings from the igubal range are also very lightweight, compact and economical on two fronts:

  1. Low purchase price
  2. Low maintenance and installation costs
